Shabbos: Taam HaChaim Shevii Shel Pesach 5768

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Shevii Shel Pesach 5768



Shabbos in the Parashah



This Shabbos is Shevii Shel Pesach, the seventh day of Pesach. Although the festival of Pesach is one long eight-day holiday, the seventh day of Pesach bears its own uniqueness. What is so special about the seventh day of Pesach? Rashi quotes the Medrash that states that the Jewish People were liberated from Egypt on the fifteenth of Nissan, which is the first day of Pesach, and on the twenty-first of… Continue

Shabbos: Taam HaChaim Acharei Mos-Shabbos HaGadol-Pesach 5768

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Acharei Mos-Shabbos HaGadol-Pesach 5768



Shabbos in the Parashah



In this week’s parashah, Acharei Mos, we read about the passing of Nadav and Avihu, the two elder sons of Aharon HaKohen. The Mishna Berura (O. C. 621:2 quotes the Zohar that states that one who cries upon hearing this passage in the Torah describing the deaths of Nadav and Avihu will be granted atonement for his sins and his children will not die in his lifetime. One must wonder what is… Continue

Shabbos: Taam HaChaim Metzora 5768

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Metzora 5768



Shabbos in the Parashah



In this week’s parashah the Torah continues to discuss the laws of one who is afflicted with tzaraas, the biblical version of leprosy. Yet, this affliction defies our imagination, as we are not witnesses to such an affliction in our times. The Ramban (Vayikra 13:47) writes that tzaraas was only prevalent when the Jewish People were on the level that even a slight sin would be borne out by a manifestation of… Continue

Shabbos: Taam HaChaim Tazria 5768

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Tazria 5768

Shabbos in the Parashah



This week many of us heard words of inspiration from Torah leaders regarding the tragic massacre that occurred recently at Yeshivas Mercaz HaRav in Yerushalayim. We know that on Shabbos one is prohibited from mourning publicly and one is forbidden to cry on Shabbos. Yet, it is worth taking a closer look inside this week’s parashah for a lesson that we can all glean from this shocking episode. It is said (Vayikra 12:1-2)… Continue

Purim and Pesach

It is said (Shemos 17:16) vayomer ki yad al keis kah milchama laHaShem baAmalek midor dor, and he said, “For the hand is on the throne of G-d: Hashem maintains a war against Amalek, from generation to generation.” The Medrash (Tanchumah Ki Seitzei 11) states that HaShem said that His Name and His Throne will not be complete until the eradication of Amalek occurs. It is fascinating to note that the Gemara (Taanis 29a) states that mishenichnas Adar marbim bisimcha, when the month of Adar begins,… Continue
